Changes gear we took advantage ofnthe mullet run and the amount of fish in the area pushed up into a remote creek and targeted snook and tarpon. Fishing is red hot due to the annual mullet run where thousand of mullet migrate down the florida coast eventually schooling up in the canals and spillways. Its not long before snook and tarpon and a myriad other fish attack and gorgen the huge amount of prey. The video shows just one of the spots i target these fish . I fish the mullet in the area hooking a mullet and casting into a prime feeding area that has erupting fishusually because a hungry snook or tarpon is below I also use mall rubber artificial paddle tails . Some times in ver different colors to get the attention of the snook or tarpon.

Armed with an array of fishing techniques, we set out with high hopes and a boat full of gear.

Switching to Artificial Lures: As the tide shifted, we transitioned to artificial lures. Topwater subsurface artificials worked wonders, especially during the calm moments when the water’s surface resembled glass. The sight of tarpon exploding after a well-placed lure was nothing short of spectacular. Fly Fishing Under the Stars: To elevate the challenge, we brought out the fly rods. This technique required precise casting and delicate presentation, but the reward was immense. Watching a tarpon inhale a meticulously tied fly under the moonlight was mesmerizing, showcasing the art and patience involved in fly fishing.

The camaraderie, the challenges, and the triumphs will be etched in our memories, fueling our passion for the next adventure.
